A man who was allegedly pretending to be a law enforcement officer picked the wrong vehicle to pull over in San Miguel County on Wednesday, and now he’s behind bars and facing a misdemeanor charge of impersonating a law enforcement officer.

John Shelton, 26, of Logan, was being held at the San Miguel County Detention Center in lieu of a $2,000 cash bond.

State police are asking anyone who may have been pulled over by Shelton to contact the state police Investigations Bureau in Las Vegas at 425-6771.
